Ping Ping is a common computer network administration tool used to test whether or not a host is reachable on an Internet Protocol (IP) based network and to measure the amount of time it took to reach that host and receive a reply. Ping is a simple tool that sends Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) echo requests to the target host and simply awaits a response while tracking the transit time.
